You can tell they were missing Waters, (the key creative piece of the band)! The songs are decent but lack the Floyd punch, (David’s wife co-wrote most of the lyrics) you get with The Wall, Dark Side & Wish You Were Here! High Hopes is the crown track on this album but yet, Nightwish did this better on End Of An Era!!

The songs are terrible, the lyrics are clownish, it even sounds bad - just a completely misconceived project. And by the way, this isn’t Pink Floyd, this is tasteless solo David Gilmour crap written for soulless middle-aged Tories.

Essentially a David album, went largely unnoticed by the Floyd purists when it came out but one of the best Gilmore writing and playing. Ever. Gets better with time.

And everything about this album is perfect. Coming Back to Life Makes me feel so nostalgic for a time I wish I can go back to but

A great Pink Floyd album, and I must say it grows on me the more I listen to it, Not enough to make it extremely high to the top but I like it alot. Definitely a more mature like album, tho Roger and his contributions are extremely missed I feel like Gilmour put lots of emotional personal experienced writing and less conceptual in his lyrics while still having a message. You can really feel the fallout they were having with Roger throughout songs like Lost for Words and Poles Apart. Less political and artistic, but very reflective and personally deep. Other great tracks are High Hopes and Take It back. Feels very right for its era and a 90s version of the prog rock sound. I know people wont check it out cause its no Roger and after the wall, but really take a listen and reflect on it.

i love this album, hidden gem.

There’s nothing by PF I don’t like, but this is one of my favorite albums ever. From start to finish.

It’s pretty good

There’s just something that speaks to me in this album. I love the music, the words, and the themes. It highlights the best of Gilmour, Wright, and Mason. My top 3 Floyd albums in order are Division Bell, Dark Side of the Moon, and Wish You Were Here. But for me they’re all really close and amazing.
